Your own news portal LifeInChandigarh.com on Friday (27.02.2026) reviewed the offerings across the sweets, bakery and restaurant sections on an invitation from Janta Premium Founder & Managing Director Sumit Juneja.
Sharing the journey of Janta Premium (Estd. 1982), from Saharanpur to Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat, Rohtak and now to Panchkula, Juneja informed that the sweets business had been passed on within the family from generations. “So, we have had a vast experience in the making of sweets and deeply understand the true essence of their traditional making processes, flavours and tastes.
“In all other cities we have a sweets shop and bakery. Why we are calling the Panchkula facility as our flagship is because we have added a full-fledged large format vegetarian restaurant for the first time anywhere. Henceforth we have plans to carry forward this restaurant format as we expand in the tricity to Chandigarh, Mohali and beyond.”

Speaking about the exceptional aspects of the various offerings in the sweets shop, bakery and restaurant, Juneja said “each new product or offering goes through layers of trials and modifications and is released for sale only after we are fully satisfied that we have done the best we could. Rest, the customers are the best judge. We have only one message for the people of Chandigarh tricity, please try us out once and we are confident we’ll meet your expectations. We are always open to suggestions. We’re lifelong learners.”
On the issue of competition from rivals, Juneja, who was accompanied by his wife Rita Juneja and another director in the company Vinay Sood, said “We are not here to compete with anyone. We have faith in God and our work – the variety and quality of our products, their taste, our facilities and our service.”

Our tasting session
We started our tastings session with a refreshing iced jaljira drink accompanied with delicious starters like chilli cheese, beetroot kebab and hara bhara kebab. From among the mouth-watering gujiya varieties we picked Paan gujiya and Pineapple gujiya. Both were super tasty and nearly melted in the mouth, as was the promise.
The main course, served piping hot, and including dal makhani, mushroom masala, zira rice, and assorted breads like plain tandoori, lachcha parantha, missi roti, and naan, served with onion-tomato curd, also tasted great.
Our lunch outing concluded ideally with a delightful gajar ka halwa full of nuts.
